For a client using an IPv4 address, the AP can obtain the IP address assigned to the client in the DHCPv4

packets exchanged between the DHCP server and the client, and bind the IP address with the MAC
address of the client.
For a client using an IPv6 address, the AP can generate binding entries in either of the following ways:

DHCPv6—The AP obtains the complete IPv6 address assigned to the client in the DHCPv6 packets
exchanged between the DHCP server and the client, and binds the IPv6 address with the MAC

address of the client. If the AP obtains the IPv6 address prefix assigned to the client, it cannot
generate a proper binding entry.

ND (Neighbor Discovery)—The AP obtains the IPv6 address in the router advertisement packets
exchanged between the router and the client, and binds the IPv6 address with the MAC address of

the client.

After source IP address verification is enabled, the AP looks up the binding entries for received packets.

If the source MAC address and the source IP address of a packet match a binding entry, the AP forwards
the packets. Otherwise, the AP discards it.

Figure 67

shows how source IP address verification works.
